Switch to MonitorUpdatingPersister

[tnull]

Especially since we now added remote storage via VSS, we should aim to reduce the persisted data and switch to use MonitorUpdatingPersister.

Hey @tnull, is anybody working on this one?

It looks like a low hanging fruit from that v0.6 issues list. Am I right?
Asking as I'm very new to this codebase =).

Edit: Does this make sense?

No, currently nobody is actively working on this. Feel free to give it a shot, although I'm not sure it's the best first issue as it requires some prior knowledge around LDK's interface usage.

I think this generally goes in the right direction, but note that we'll need to use the MonitorUpdatingPersister as the Persist implementation we give to ChainMonitor at the very least.

Ok, will give it a try...if things don't go smoothly I'll ping you guys on Discord =)
